softer saddle = more pain (cuts off the blood supply by bulging up into soft tissue - saddles are like shoes, try for size, try before you buy and take it back if there's any discomfort)

underwear = discomfort (it won't kill you or your chances to have children but it's really, really annoying)

here's a good thread on what to look for

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!
